‘Political self-interest’ drove Labor to ‘give in’ on bordersLabor giving in on borders is a 'willingness to sacrifice the national interest' for a 'cheap political win', says Sky News host Peta Credlin. “The news that extra ships and planes have been diverted to border protection duties shows more clearly than anything … Labor's decision to abolish temporary protection visas has told people smugglers that the back door to Australia has once again been left open,' Ms Credlin said.
